"Howard Stern was in Star Wars?"

Don't think so. This is about the coming prequel of "Star Wars". Not sure how Carrie Fisher could be made up to look good in a prequel.

Doesn't matter since Lucas gave up on character development since the first "Star Wars". Everything else was CGI and fantasy. Star Wars sucks! The reboot of "Star Trek" is good movie-making.

According to Lucas and Lucasfilm only the Movies are canon. The rest is only semi-canon.

Probably Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart

If either of these two are cast in it I'll boycott the films AND burn all my current Star Wars collection in a nice big bonefire in my back yard, banning the franchise from ever entering my house again.

"careful, your bias is showing."

Yup, I'm biased against stupid CGI movies that have weak story lines and weak character development and rely of special effects. I'll watch Armageddon time and again simply because you get to know every person on the crew and grow to like them. Think it was the best thing Michael Bay did.

Just wasted money on "THOR" sequel - what a waste of time and money. "Oblivion" was a cool concept, but "Elysium" was lame political statement and a waste of talent. It reminded me of the Sci-fi book of old called, "Ring World", but no where near as compelling. Yes, I'm biased against stupid sci-fi movies and series.

I've gotten to hate "Walking Dead". Liked it first, until it showed how such a small band of people (or individual) could so easily over-come the slow moving zombies. Really? Those slow pathetic creatures took over the world? Makes no since. However, the fast moving zombies in "24 Days" movie makes some since.

As for Vampire movies, the Twilight franchise is about love and romance, much like the TV series "True Blood" that has gotten so convoluted with all the supernatural creatures in one small town, who can keep track?

My favorite shows: Banshee, Supernatural (directing and interaction of the Winchesters), Justified, Big Bang Theory (cracks me up every episode), and Overhauling on the Velocity channel. So yes, I'm biased and also discriminate in what I watch. Oh no! Did I say "discriminate"? We all do that from the decision of morning breakfast to what we wear to bed every night. "Discrimination" is NOT a bad word, neither is biased. It's what humans do with their choices.

I didn’t care for Plan 9 From Outer Space, either.

That's because they still need to film the first 8 for the background story and character development.

I actually agree with most of what you say, but the implication you gave was that ALL of the SW movies were to use the word “crap” and that’s just not true. New Hope and Empire were the best of the lot.

And that is in MY opinion.

The Star Trek reboot of the franchise was a brilliant move, but I fear the next set of SW movies are going to suck worse than the first three, and I can say that because I’ve been a fan since 1977.
